The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( a^2 + b^2 \) given the conditions about the lines. ### Step 1: Identify the slopes of the lines The first line is given by the equation: \[ ax + by + p = 0 \] The slope \( m_1 \) of the first line can be calculated as: \[ m_1 = -\frac{a}{b} \] The second line is given by: \[ x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha - p = 0 \] The slope \( m_2 \) of the second line is: \[ m_2 = -\frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha} \] The third line is given by: \[ x \sin \alpha - y \cos \alpha = 0 \] The slope \( m_3 \) of the third line is: \[ m_3 = \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha} \] ### Step 2: Use the angle condition The problem states that the angle between the first line and the second line is \( \frac{\pi}{4} \). The formula for the tangent of the angle \( \theta \) between two lines with slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) is given by: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] Setting \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \), we have \( \tan \frac{\pi}{4} = 1 \). Thus: \[ 1 = \left| \frac{-\frac{a}{b} + \frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha}}{1 - \frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha}} \right| \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 1 - \frac{a \cos \alpha}{b \sin \alpha} = -\frac{a}{b} + \frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha} \] Rearranging terms leads to: \[ 1 + \frac{a}{b} = \frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha} + \frac{a \cos \alpha}{b \sin \alpha} \] ### Step 4: Analyze the intersection point The lines \( L_2 \) and \( L_3 \) are also given to meet at the same point. The slopes \( m_2 \) and \( m_3 \) must also satisfy the angle condition: \[ \tan \theta = \left| \frac{m_2 - m_3}{1 + m_2 m_3} \right| = 1 \] ### Step 5: Set up the equations Using the slopes: \[ 1 = \left| \frac{-\frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha} - \frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha}}{1 - \left(-\frac{\cos \alpha}{\sin \alpha}\right) \left(\frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \alpha}\right)} \right| \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( a^2 + b^2 \) After simplifying and equating the conditions from both angle equations, we can derive: \[ a^2 + b^2 = 0 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the value of \( a^2 + b^2 \) is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
